Anti depressants always make you fel shite because [accdording to my research on tinternet when I was on them] they act on part of your brain that makes you sick as well as the mood chemicals.

I always felt shite for about a week or so then felt physically and mentally better. ENough to make me feel like it was worth it.

Really sorry you feel shit. Do you think you could stick with it a few weeks?

By the way your son is GORGEOUS. Cool hat for comic relief {sorry, I love looking at people's pictures!]

You need to cut down on your sleeping tablets gradually.

Anti-depressants can make you feel like shit intially, it will be 2-3 weeks before you feel any benefit. I know that doesn't help you now though sorry

Who has prescibed your tablets? If it's your GP can you speak to him/her about how you feel and get some advise for coming off your sleeping tabs?

hi medhi's mum
keep going with the prozac can take up to 4 weeks to notice a difference
have you tried kalms sleeping tablets they are herbal and were very good for not sleeping
also try some lavender oil on your pillow
